ABSTRACT This document provides a comprehensive overview of the Vehicle licensing and tolling application with the main aim of gathering and summarising facts, identifying as well as analysing alternatives thereby solving the problems faced at Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (ZINARA). Data gathering methodologies which include interviews, observations and questionnaires were used in identifying the problems currently being faced by the organisation. These included human errors and frau...
ABSTRACT Preeti Gupta(2005) A system is an association of components to perform a specific function .In this case the Auxiliary Plants integration system is a system that will allow ZPC to fully manage its auxiliary plants allowing the management to know the status of the water treatment plant and coal plant. The system will integrate the coal plant and water treatment plant, whereby operators will enter the readings of the plant in the system and the operator details will be known and the f...
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to come up with a mobile health EasyPharm Android application is a system that will integrate the manual functions being performed by the patients, doctors and the pharmacy. The development of this system comes out after the identification of numerous problems which are associated with the current system. The different types of information gathering techniques were used to unveil these problems. Techniques which were used are interviews, questionnaires a...
Abstract The purpose of this research was to build an Information System based solution which would help address challenges of slow CDR requests, inaccurate response to requests, workload of data mining procedures and the risks associated with connecting manually to live database exposing live database to risks. CDR mining and analysis system is an electronic data mining and analysis system which is intranet based for security reasons. This system was developed to address risks (preventing wr...
Abstract : A simple replication-based mechanism has been used to achieve high data reliability of Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). However, replication based mechanisms have high degree of disk storage requirement since it makes copies of full block without consideration of storage size. Studies have shown that erasure-coding mechanism can provide more storage space when used as an alternative to replication. Also, it can increase write throughput compared to replication mechanism. To i...
ABSTRACT Viterbi Algorithm Decoder Enhanced with Non-transmittable Codewords is one of the best decoding algorithm which effectively improves forward error correction performance. HoweverViterbi decoder enhanced with NTCs is not yet designed to work in storage media devices. Currently Reed Solomon (RS) Algorithm is almost the dominant algorithm used in correcting error in storage media. Conversely, recent studies show that there still exist low reliability of data in storage media while the ...
Abstract This study focused on poultry farmers’ preference of information sources for accessing poultry management information in three rural districts of Tanzania. A mixed methods research design was deployed. Questionnaires and focus group discussions were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data respectively. Responses to the questionnaire which was administered by researchers in faceto- face meetings were received from 360 farmers, and 160 farmers participated in 16 focus group...
Abstract As the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in production and service rendering sectors increases, the demand for digital data storage with large storage capacity also increases. Higher storage media systems reliability and fault tolerance are among the key factors that the existing systems sometimes fail to meet and therefore, resulting into data loss. Forward error correction is one of the techniques applied to reduce the impact of data loss problem in ...
ABSTRACT This research study assesses whether a lack of marketing and promotion causes a decrease in the usage of electronic resources or whether there are other prevailing factors that prevent users from using the libraries’ electronic resources. The research tried to find out what marketing and promotional techniques are employed and how the electronic resources are organised in the selected libraries. The study covered the Khomas region in Windhoek, Namibia. The principal method used to...
ABSTRACT Knowledge management is a field with a lot of potential that can benefit individuals as well as different types of organizations. Despite this fact, most organizations in Kenya have focused on knowledge storage, but have not adopted sharing of the stored knowledge. This study examined the adoption of mobile technology for knowledge management in Mahashakti Kenya Limited, Athi River. The study was guided by the following objectives: To assess the extent of adoption of mobile technolo...
ABSTRACT Rampant cyber incidences in Kenya targeting banks call for mediations beyond existing cybersecurity principles. This quantitative study sought to collate multi-domain variables from previous works to develop a framework for measuring cyber-resilience in Kenyan banks known as the Cyber-resilience Framework for Banks (CRF4Banks). The framework consists of eight key cyber-resilience constructs and their constituent variables, identified from empirical research and literature. Cyber-res...
Abstract The whole idea of World Wide Web (WWVV) was born out o f the desire that information should be shared. Presently WWW is really information domain. Today, users of the Web can easily access this information by specifying URI addresses, searching, and following links to find other related resources, but, in some cases users are taken to an irrelevant site. Another limitation of WWW is that the information can only be understood and interpreted by human being, it is difficult for machin...
ABSTRACT This research work is a study on the Impact of Internet Usage on Academic Performance of undergraduate students using Ambrose Alli University Physics undergraduate, Edo State as a case study. The research design adopted was sample techniques using questionnaires as the instrument for data collection. The population of the study was the students of the Ambrose Alli University of Edo State, with students randomly selected making a total sample of 154 students whom were issued questionn...
This paper examines how people in Copenhagen interact with and perceive six of the main neighbourhoods in the capital. As a special case, an equivalent analysis is carried out for the popular food market Torvehallerne. The research was conducted by applying statistical analysis and natural language processing to captions from Instagram posts tagged with neighbourhood names. The analysis reveals that the Instagram segment have a positive perception of their neighbourhoods and like to displa...
ABSTRACT Electronic Health Record systems (EHR) are increasingly being deployed within healthcare institutions to reduce the problems and limitations of the paper-based approach but its deployment has been slow due to high investment and maintenance cost. Cloud Computing has been widely recognized as the next generation’s computing infrastructure and it offers several advantages to its users. In this study, an Enterprise Electronic Cloud-Based Health Record System (E2CHRS) was designed, i...
